Well the builder rang the other day and said he will be round the next day just after 8am will you be in,
Well no but i will make sure someone is there i said, luckily Emma is working lates so she would be there all sorted,
He was there on the dot and Emma left him a spare key to lock up after him, i do know the builder very well he knows the family and i have used him before too,
I came back home tonight and the jobs he did look great, capped of the chimney with a vent replaced some bricks and done some re-pointing and he even washed and cleaned the floors outside too,
I had to call him and say where is the bill and like the last time all i got was what is the rush , anyway the bill was £260 and i am going to take it round to his house tomorrow,
Its good to know there are still some good people who you can trust

That's great Steve
Just the way it used to be in our small village back in UK

Here it's a little different.
When you find a trusted and good quality tradesman keep a contact and keep them happy.

Our builders were highly skilled and highly trusted. We paid their air tickets from Cebu to Manila and back.
We even paid them at a rate for 7 days per week even though many Saturdays and/or Sundays were paid holiday.
Labour costs here are not expensive.
